Description This research investigated the potential of biogas technology, particularly the Deenbandhu model, as a sustainable energy solution for Rajasthan. In the backdrop of increasing energy demands due to population growth and industrialization, and heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels, the study highlights biogas as a viable alternative. Employing a multifaceted approach, including surveys, interviews, and economic and energy analyses, the research evaluated the adoption, efficiency, and economic viability of biogas plants. Despite Rajasthan’s substantial livestock resources indicating a high potential for biogas production, a significant gap exists between theoretical and actual plant installations. The study revealed the socio-economic and environmental benefits of biogas, such as reduced time and labor for women and children, health improvements, decreased dependence on traditional fuels, and enhanced soil fertility through application of biogas slurry. It concludes that fostering biogas technology can effectively reduce fossil fuel reliance, lower CO2 emissions, and aid India’s transition to a low-carbon economy, provided the barriers to adoption are addressed and dissemination strategies under the NBMMP are enhanced
